25th September 2006
2002 Cabernet Sauvignon, Peñalolen, Maipo Valley, Chile, £7.49, Oddbins
A fantastic bargain for a wine this good. It is the supposedly lighter cuvée from one of Chile's great vineyards, clambering up the mountainside above Santiago. It's a cool vineyard in a warm land, and the scent of menthol and eucalyptus is so fiery it could banish the ague from a Bleak House consumptive. But mix that medicine with wonderfully focused cool blackcurrant fruit and a light evening trail of coalsmoke and you have a really beautiful, balanced mountain red. Taken from the new Oz Clarke's Wine
